Feist Pleasure 2LP

Feist's 4th Album On Double LP!
One of SPIN Magazine's "The 50 Best Albums of 2017 So Far"!

The four-time Grammy nominee and eleven-time Juno award winner returns with her
4th album called "Pleasure".

Feist’s first album in six years reflects on secrets and shame, loneliness and
tenderness, care and fatigue and is at its core a study on self-awareness . As
the fourth full-length from the Canadian singer/songwriter born Leslie Feist,
Pleasure builds off the warm naturalism of the Polaris Prize-winning Metals and
emerges as her most formally defiant and expansive work so far. While each album
is a departure from the next, Pleasure finds the four-time Grammy Award nominee
again showing the extraordinary depth of her artistry.

Recorded over the course of three months—in Stinson Beach, Upstate New York, and
Paris — Pleasure was co-produced by Feist with longtime collaborators Renaud
Letang and Mocky. In addition to reaffirming Feist as a cagily inventive guitar
player, the album threads her shape-shifting and often haunting vocals into
sparse and raw arrangements.

In 2004 Feist made her U.S. debut with Let It Die (featuring "Mushaboom") which
won the Juno Award for Best Alternative Rock Album, and garnered major critical
acclaim. Her 2007 follow-up The Reminder debuted in the Top 20 in the
U.S. and was hailed by The Village Voice as a "great batch of simple,
precisely arranged love songs — expertly produced, delectably sung." The
single "1234" boosted the album’s sales to more than a million units
internationally. Also including lead single "My Moon My Man," The Reminder won
Feist the 2007 Shortlist Music Prize (making her only the second woman to ever
win the award).

After a several-year hiatus — during which she co-created Look At What The Light
Did Now, a documentary about the making of The Reminder and her subsequent tour
— Feist returned with Metals in 2011. Metals was her highest charting album,
debuting at #9 on Billboard. It was named Album of the Year by the New York
Times and won the Polaris Prize and four more Juno Awards. To date, Feist's
music has sold over three million units worldwide and amassed more than 500
million streams.

"This spring, Leslie Feist returned after a six-year hiatus with the best
album she's ever made. Pleasure, her fifth full-length, is spare, raw and
gritty. It's also intensely intimate, particularly in the spacious way it was
recorded, with a sound that feels like you're sitting in her bedroom as she
unspools her grief and emotional upheaval. Every element, from Feist's vocal
performances to the brilliant production, is utterly transfixing." - Robin
Hilton, NPR

"No one told Feist that guitar was on the way out. Starting with the
feverish title track, Pleasure is produced in such a manner that her axe is
positioned to drive her songs, not just accompany them. It can sound piercing
and foreign, and it can betray its own difficulty, with every movement of the
artist's hand worn in the sounds, stripped of any studio polish. Not that the
album is a tribute to the instrument, but more a stubborn exercise from a
songwriter refusing to conform to the times around her. In fact, it's Feist’s
hard-headed vision that allows the album to soar so often, her songs taking
their time to illuminate their grandeur, willing to be difficult in one moment
and comforting and cathartic in the next." - Philip Cosores, Consequence of
Sound
